Admission Inquiry What We Believe Apply

Tuition Schedules

Tuition for the upcoming year is $10,400.

At Paris Classical Academy, we are committed to making classical, Christ-centered education accessible to mission-aligned families whenever possible.

We are pleased to share that PCA is approved to receive funding through the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program. Families may learn more about this opportunity in our Education Savings Accounts (ESA) information guide.

Through Senate Bill 2 (SB2), the State of Texas has set aside $1 billion to support TEFA funding for eligible families. Unlike traditional school voucher programs limited to private school tuition, TEFAs offer greater flexibility. Funds may be used for private school tuition, homeschooling resources, tutoring, and other approved educational expenses.

We understand that families often have questions about how education funding programs affect school independence. SB2 includes strong protections that allow schools like PCA to participate without compromising mission or culture:

Religious autonomy is preserved — schools are not required to change beliefs, curriculum, or policies
Flexible testing requirements — schools provide norm-referenced testing (such as CLT, PSAT, SAT/ACT), not state STAAR testing
Independent admissions — schools retain full control of admissions decisions

These safeguards allow PCA to embrace TEFA opportunities while remaining faithful to our classical Christian mission.

Families interested in financial assistance are encouraged to apply first through TEFA, and then complete a secondary tuition assistance application through FACTS.

Tuition Assistance & Family Portal Through FACTS

Paris Classical Academy partners with FACTS to support both tuition assistance and family communication. FACTS provides a secure and confidential platform where families can apply for financial assistance and manage key school information through the parent portal.

For tuition assistance, families submit financial information directly to FACTS. PCA does not see personal financial details—only the recommended assessment figures provided by FACTS—allowing us to distribute assistance fairly while protecting family privacy.

FACTS also serves as our parent portal, where families can access important school information, forms, and communications throughout the year.

Families seeking financial assistance are encouraged to complete the FACTS application after applying for TEFA. Our team is happy to assist with any questions along the way.

Why Classical, Collaborative, Christ-centered, Covenantal

Classical

Derived from the Latin term classicus, “classical” refers to “that which is of the first rank.”

A classical education is divided into age and development-appropriate learning stages called Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric, shaping lifelong learners through rigorous classical education.

Collaborative

We are a collaborative school, meaning children attend classes on campus three days a week and complete assignments from home the other two days. This model allows us to partner with parents to give their children an education that is both rigorous and tailored to the students’ needs.

Christ Centered

While our constituency represents families of various Christian denominations, the trustees, administration, and faculty of Paris Classical Academy embrace orthodox Christianity as set forth in the Bible, the inspired Word of God, and those creeds and confessions of faith that best express that orthodoxy, such as the Westminster Confession of Faith and the Second London Baptist Confession.

Western Culture is the byproduct of Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian influences; therefore, it behooves us to study the Bible, the Greeks, the Romans, and the thinkers, writers, artists, and musicians of the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Enlightenment because God was providentially shaping Western Culture to be His primary agent of revelation and evangelism in the establishment of His kingdom.

Covenantal

As a covenantal school, we “covenant” with like-minded parents who desire their children to be brought up “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” and receive an education that emphasizes those time-honored practices and principles derived from the Judeo-Christian, Greco-Roman traditions undergirding that which is best in Western culture.
